OMG! Now I’m even more disappointed in myself for not getting more things done.

But, in all honesty, I need to cut myself some slack because this has been a challenging year so far. So, I am envious of those of you who made enough to earn one of those glorious prizes!

Congratulations to those who earned one! You rock!

So, in looking at the June prompts, I realized that I never even added the May prompts to my Spring Nerd Games tracking document. Holy cow- I’ve never done that before… And I missed 2 more monthly battles. School is finished in 15 days, so I hope I can get some things done before the end of the month. Although, I only have about a week before I have to attend a training out of town. I’ll have to see if I can bring along any crafts I can make in my hotel room!

It’s all for fun, so don’t stress about it. There will be some fun stuff happening next season though, so be prepared for lots of prompty fun-ness :grin:

I truly do know, but I am still bummed… but again, giving myself a bit of grace.

And, I just went through my ambitious project list and replaced a bunch of things on it with things that should be more do-able in my limited time. A couple of projects need to be done before school ends, so I have a deadline. Maybe I can do those this weekend (I need to bust out my Silhouette).

I am currently working on a project that is using Caron Skinny Cake in the color rainbow. For some reason the colors go:

Red > Orange > Yellow > Green > Blue > Green > Violet

It has been bothering me that there is green between the blue and the violet. Someone obviously forgot their ROY B GIV. My newest theory (and @Smeddley and Mr SBC seem to think it has some merit) is that someone was told by their boss to make a rainbow skein with the rainbow colors, and they didn’t know what color indigo was. They panicked and decided it must be green.

I’m not sure if that’s the reasoning behind it, but I have decided that is the case, and now I’m more amused than annoyed by my yarn. :smile:

I just wanted to share a quick HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our lovely @roler! :hearts:

I hope you had the loveliest of days and you have an amazing year. Miss you, bestie! :partying_face:

You know the theory about Indigo don’t you?

The occult required 7 colors, not six. A lot of rainbows nowadays just skip it entirely. I mean, it’s a tertiary color. LOL!

Hello everyone! I have extended the spring games until July 5th, so be sure to get any projects in there by 11:59pm Central Time.

The summer games are now open. @Smeddley will get the prompts up soon. Once she posts, craft at it! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Award Ceremony

Back in ye olden days of the internet, before Lettuce Craft was born, an award ceremony took place to commemorate crafting milestone achievements. I have decided to start that here, because I remember how motivated I felt after seeing I had “leveled up” again. I went through all of the tracking sheets and got crafting totals for anyone that has ever played the Nerd Games here on LC.

Each player’s name will be placed under the highest achievement earned to date. I will update the list and announce new achievements at the end of every season (and when I inevitably forget, send me a message to remind your emu brained captain :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:). I’d love to give a SUPER DUPER SPECIAL SHOUT OUT AND THANK YOU to @Bunny1kenobi for making the badges for the award ceremony. They are beautiful and I appreciate your assistance :hearts:

Without further ado…
